Chapter 805: Back on Track

Two hours later, Seimei stopped nurturing his Byakugan.

By now, it was deep into the night.

His Byakugan had hit its limit for what it could handle today.

Inside the training room, Seimei opened his eyes.

Feeling the slight bulge of his Byakugan at his brow, he shifted his focus to the chakra stored in the special space there.

Over the past two days, he’d recovered about 5.8 million points of chakra.

That number should’ve been closer to 6.8 ...

Chapter 75: Hollywood Romance

Dunn was in a great mood.

First off, the fourth chunk of overseas box office cash from 20th Century Fox had just rolled in—$54 million total. Bill Mechanic was super nice about it, saying if Dunn needed funds ASAP, they could front him $50 million for Dunn Studios’ operations and settle the difference later.

Second, he got word from AA, Endeavor, and Warner—Marvel Entertainment was ready to sit down and talk business with Dunn Studios. Jackpot!

Third, Nicole Kidman c...

Chapter 74: System Glitch!

Beverly Hills isn’t some fancy estate—it’s actually a city within Los Angeles, packed with celebs and loaded folks.

The Cruise estate up on South Hill has always been a hot spot for the media and paparazzi. They can’t get enough of it!

Tom Cruise has some solid habits. After his early morning workout, he plopped down on a bamboo chair on the balcony, soaking in the sun. He grabbed the newspaper that’d been waiting for him on the coffee table.

Lately, thoug...

*Chapter 73: Both Sides Have Their Own Agendas*

Dunn’s tone was firm. “Mr. Horn, I’ve said it before—I need the full copyright to the entire series before I can even think about starting this movie project! When J.K. Rowling was at her lowest, I stepped in to help her. And what did she do? Climbed up the ladder and kicked Dunn Studios into the gutter. I don’t trust a partner like that.”

“We’ll get to work on solving this!” Alan Horn promised right away.

Dunn shook his head. “Sorry, Mr. Horn, but I’m...

*Chapter 138: The Emperor's Awakening, The Intruder of Hyotei (Part 1)*

Boom!

The gloomy sky roared with thunder, its echoes reverberating across the horizon.

Keigo Atobe stiffened, his gaze dropping to the unmistakable mark left by the tennis ball beside him. His mind went blank.

His World of Ice had been shattered.

He never imagined that his newly perfected technique would be dismantled so effortlessly by his opponent.

"No!"

Atobe snapped out of his daze, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Ishikaw...

*Chapter 137: Atobe's Awakening, The World of Ice ()*

Pat!

Pat!

Pat!

At the baseline, Atobe continuously tapped the tennis ball with his racket. He was searching for his rhythm, trying to regain his composure after losing the previous point.

As one of the top middle school players, Atobe wasn’t the type to dwell on the loss of a single point. Unlike Tezuka, who carried an unwavering belief in his team, or Sanada, who insisted on winning through sheer determination and fairness, Atobe’s ...

*Chapter 136: Fierce Battle, the Demon King vs. the Emperor (Part 1)*

An empty estate.

A deserted tennis court.

No spectators, no factions, no referee.

Tap!

Tap!

Tap!

The silence of the court was broken by the soft sound of a bouncing tennis ball.

A figure crouched low, gently tapping the ball against the ground.

Tap!

Then, the figure grabbed the ball and straightened up. As he lifted his head, his deep blue eyes locked onto his opponent.

“Well then...

*Chapter 6: A Scream in the Dark*

The moment the lights went out, Roy was immediately on high alert. He discreetly hid the handcuff key that Sheriff Hughes had given him in his palm, ready to unlock the cuffs at any moment.

Even with the power out, the police station wasn’t completely dark. A few emergency lights on the walls cast a dim glow, allowing Roy to barely make out his surroundings outside the cell.

But the Ghostface Killer was human too, meaning he could see just as much—or as little—as Roy ...

Chapter 5: The Suspect

"I don't care what anyone says—I believe in Roy!"

Billy smirked, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he mocked Needy.

"Oh, come on, Miss Straight-A Student, are you supporting Roy just because he's good-looking?"

The classroom erupted into laughter, especially among the boys. Meanwhile, the girls exchanged glances, some looking at Needy with thinly veiled hostility.

Needy had never been the center of attention in class—except when exam results were ann...

Chapter 4: Murder Accusation

"I heard it! Inside the cabinet!"

Roy lunged forward, yanking open the cabinet door.

Inside, there was indeed a person—but a dead one.

The voice, however, had come from two cell phones clutched in the corpse’s hand.

Damn. The mysterious figure had used one phone to call the other, then had that phone call Roy’s landline.

A trick within a trick—like Russian nesting dolls. If the goal was to get Roy’s attention, then the real plan must be...

Chapter 3: If You Find Me, I'll Let You Heh Heh Heh

Roy picked up the phone again.

"Hello, this is the Black residence!"

"Heh heh heh, Roy Black, were you just cursing me in your head?"

The voice on the other end was the same—low and distorted.

Roy was furious. This bastard had ruined his plans, and now he had the audacity to call?

"Who the hell are you? Even pranks have a limit!"

He started to suspect it was one of the people he'd kicked out of the party earlier, trying to get back at h...

"I'm on the highway to hell!"

("I'm marching on the road to hell!")

"On the highway to hell!"

("On this road to hell!")

"Highway to hell!"

("The road to hell!")

With the sound of electrifying rock music blasting in his ears, Roy slowly opened his eyes, feeling an undeniable sense of irritation.

"What the hell is all this noise? Can’t a guy get some sleep?"

Unfortunately, his voice was completely drowned out by the deafening music.

*Chapter 1276: Open and Aboveboard*

Cody's heart pounded violently, as if it were about to burst. His mind was a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts, impossible to quiet.

After thinking it over, Cody decided he could at least minimize the damage. There was no need to drag everyone else down. After all, everyone was just trying to make a living, and life wasn’t easy for anyone.

So, he clenched his teeth and made up his mind.

“It was all me. I said everyth...

Chapter 216: The Ticket to the Spirit Realm

"…I once discussed the concept of time in the Spirit Realm with Hemingway. He explained that humans perceive everything through the lens of time, while spirits can only conceive changes in states. Spirits lack a sense of time, not just because their existence is eternal, but for other reasons too. One is that the sun in the Spirit Realm never moves—it remains fixed in one corner of the sky. Another is that spirits can move instantly from o...

Chapter 19: The Official Performance

Duncan, perched on a high stool at the bar, followed the spotlight with his eyes—not out of curiosity, but out of boredom. Everyday life always craves a little distraction, and a bit of music never fails to lift the mood. Then came the lead singer’s introduction:

“…Welcome to our kingdom!”

Short, sharp, and brimming with youthful energy and a touch of swagger. The crowd didn’t miss a beat—some bar patrons immediately shouted back with playful jabs:

Chapter 18: Heartbeat Like a Drum

Thump. Thump! Thump-thump-thump!

His heart slammed against his chest with such force, picking up speed, that his whole ribcage started to ache. It felt like his heart might burst out any second, ready to explode. His eardrums buzzed and roared in sync.

Ronan was nervous… no, really nervous!

Tonight was different from last night, no question.

Last night, everything had been a chaotic blur. Partly because he was still dazed from arriving in ...

Chapter 17: Encore Performance

Summer in New Orleans is sticky, humid, and loud—a city that never sleeps, reveling without restraint.

From early June, the thick jazz vibe kicks off North America’s grandest music festival. By July’s peak, a two-week food fest leaves every foodie stuffed and blissed out. Then, as August winds down summer, the drama festival rolls in, giving every art-chasing soul a stage to shine.

Wild. Bustling. Free. Bold. Unbridled.

Chapter 16: Different Choices

“Huh?”

Lost in his thoughts, Ronan looked up at Maxim, puzzled. Without digging too deep into what Maxim meant, he answered offhandedly, “No, not yet. I’ve got no ideas at all.”

Come on!

Ronan had only been here for barely two hours. The surprises were piling up, and he was still reeling—problems popping up one after another. He hadn’t even had a second to sort his head out, let alone think about the future.

His answer was totally honest.

The scorching sun hung high overhead.

In the high-altitude region, the intense sunlight caused the surrounding ground to crack slightly.

On a desolate plain, under the shadow cast by towering mountains,

Shinji walked alone.

His body began to groan in protest, his stomach growling incessantly after several days of intense battles with barely two proper meals to ...

Chapter 72: The Preconditions for Cooperation

Dunn’s words made two things clear: first, copyright issues were non-negotiable; second, he was ready to flip the table if needed.

This obviously didn’t align with Hollywood’s usual playbook. Here, even if two companies were at each other’s throats, they’d still work together if there was profit to be made.

But young Dunn Walker? He seemed more into actions that hurt others without benefiting himself.

He wasn’t like most people in Hollywood. For Dunn, ...

*Chapter 71: No Compromise on Copyright!*

Inside Marvel Entertainment, the vibe was dead serious.

If Blade’s opening weekend haul of $15 million was a letdown, the second week’s $6.8 million was a straight-up nosedive. For a movie with such a hefty budget and sky-high hopes from Marvel, raking in just $21.8 million after 10 days? That’s tough to justify.

At this rate, it’s not cracking $40 million in North America—ouch.

To be fair, Blade’s rep isn’t bad. It’s no stinker. But...

Chapter 70: Not a Single One Will Be Left Out

The movie Blade was released in North America, but it didn't make much of a splash. Its budget went way over, and as a superhero flick, it had to compete with some tough rivals during its release. New Line Cinema was disappointed again—they even slashed the marketing budget to almost nothing.

These days, New Line Cinema releases a superhero movie every year, but the response... well, it’s been pretty bad. At the higher-up meetings, everyone was pretty pessimistic abo...

*Chapter 69: Opening Day Box Office*

Saving Private Ryan opened in 2,807 theaters, Armageddon in 3,184, Godzilla in 3,310, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding hit 3,080 screens—definitely earning its spot in the top tier!

As night fell, movie fans flocked to the theaters, buzzing with excitement to catch this long-awaited flick.

That evening, every cinema scheduled at least one screening room for it, with showtimes at 7:00–9:00 PM and 9:00 PM–midnight—two screenings to kee...

Chapter 804: Completion and Return

East side of the city.

Seimei lifted his hand from the head of the last small gang leader.

With a soft snap of his fingers, he erased the guy’s memory of the past ten or so seconds.

Then, he dropped the "Illusion: Sharingan," activated "Kamui," and vanished from the spot.

Three seconds later, the gang leader snapped out of it.

He glanced around, and thanks to Seimei’s illusion nudging his mind, he just figured he’d spaced out for a moment. No big dea...

Chapter 803: Arrangements

Seimei darted through the wild, rugged mountains and soon reached the outskirts of his target city.

Now, you’d think a city this close to the Land of Waterfalls would’ve gotten bustling real quick after the Third Shinobi World War ended. After all, import-export trade’s always been a goldmine—both in his past life and this one—especially in a place like the ninja world, where the terrain’s so distinct and varied.

But reality? This city was still eerily quiet...
